Video Game Shop Software
Sellers consign games and hardware to your shop. Track each item against their account, take your cut when it sells, pay out automatically. Each consignor gets their own rate.
A loose NES cartridge, a complete-in-box Super Nintendo game, and a factory-sealed copy of the same title are three completely different items with three completely different prices. Generic retail software has no concept of that distinction. Resell4.me is purpose-built video game shop software that tracks platform, condition, CIB status, manual presence, and disc or label quality for every item — while managing consignment, buy-outright resale, and new retail stock from distributors all in one cloud-based system accessible from any internet-connected device. Starting at $49/month, or as a one-time purchase — simple pricing, no surprises.
Business Models We Support
▮ Consignment
▮ Buy Outright
Walk-in sellers get cash or store credit on the spot. Log seller info, your buy price per item, and track margin from purchase to final sale.
▮ Retail
New games and accessories from distributors or publishers. Managed with purchase orders and margin reporting alongside your used inventory floor.
Inventory Built for Video Game Shops
Every item in a game store has condition and completeness details that drive its price. Resell4.me gives you the fields to track them properly from intake onward.
Platform as a Core Field
Platform is the first thing any customer asks. Resell4.me tracks Platform as a core searchable inventory field — not a free-text note — so every Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo DS, and current-gen system is cleanly organized and filterable. Staff can pull up all NES inventory, all PS1 games, or all items for a specific platform in seconds.
CIB Status, Manual & Box Condition
Complete In Box is worth multiples of cart-only for most collectible titles. Resell4.me documents Completeness (Cart/Disc Only, CIB, New/Sealed), Manual Present (Yes/No/Reproduction), Box Condition (A–F grading), and for cartridge games, Label Condition (clean, writing, fading, damage). These details travel with the item and appear on price tags and receipts.
Cart / Disc Only CIB New / Sealed Manual Included
Consignor Management & Payouts
Game shops that take consignment deal with everything from a single rare title to an entire lifetime collection dropping in at once. Resell4.me tracks every consignor separately with a customizable commission split — flat fee, percentage, or tiered by sale price. Payouts calculate automatically when items sell. Each consignor gets a professional settlement statement. High-value or rare items can have individual rate overrides without changing the consignor's default terms.
Walk-In Buy Counter & Store Credit
The buy counter is the heart of most game stores. When a seller walks in, Resell4.me lets you pay cash or issue store credit to a house account on the spot. Store credit keeps sellers coming back as buyers — one of the most effective tools for building a loyal repeat customer base. Seller information, purchase price per item, and buy date are all logged for compliance and cost basis tracking.
Hardware & Accessories Tracking
Game shops sell far more than cartridges and discs. Resell4.me tracks consoles (with serial numbers for theft deterrence and provenance), controllers (OEM vs. third-party, condition), cables and AV equipment, memory cards, light guns, strategy guides, and any other accessory. Each category can have its own condition fields and pricing logic, all flowing through the same POS at checkout.
Retail Stock from Distributors
If your shop carries new games from distributors alongside your used inventory, Resell4.me manages retail stock with purchase order management, receiving, and retail margin reporting. New and used inventory live in the same system. Staff never need to figure out which system a particular item came from — consignment, buy-outright, and new retail all ring through the same POS counter without confusion.
Layaway for Rare & High-Value Titles
Factory-sealed retro titles, complete-in-box rarities, and limited-edition collector's editions can carry significant price tags. Resell4.me supports layaway on any item — customers put a game on hold and pay it off over time. No interest is charged. You hold the item until it's paid off, converting serious collectors who can't absorb a large purchase in one visit into committed buyers on your most valuable inventory.
Barcode Labels & Fast POS Checkout
Print barcode price stickers for individual games and hardware, with platform, title, condition, and price all on the label. At checkout, items scan instantly — essential on busy Saturdays when the counter line is long. The POS supports cash, card, and store credit payments, with automatic consignor accounting and buy-cost tracking running in the background on every transaction.
Platforms Your Shop Can Track in Resell4.me
Platform is a core searchable field — not a text note — so your entire inventory stays organized by system from intake through sale.
What Your Game Shop Can Track Per Item
- Cartridge Games: Platform, title, label condition (clean, writing, fading, tears, sun damage), CIB status, manual presence, box art condition, and any reproduction flags for bootleg cartridges.
- Disc-Based Games: Platform, title, disc condition (mint, light scratches, heavy scratches, cracked), case condition (cracked, missing, replacement), manual, inserts, and any regional variant (NTSC, PAL, NTSC-J).
- Factory Sealed: Seal integrity (intact, cracked, resealed), shrink wrap condition, and any visible damage through the wrap. Sealed items can be flagged separately for premium pricing.
- Consoles & Hardware: Serial number, cosmetic condition, tested and working status, included cables and accessories, OEM vs. aftermarket parts, and any modifications (modchip, region-free).
- Controllers & Accessories: OEM vs. third-party, condition grade, functionality tested, port compatibility, and any damage notes.
- Strategy Guides & Manuals: Title, publisher, year, condition, and whether they're sold individually or bundled with a game.
Why Game Stores Choose Resell4.me Over Generic Retail POS
Generic retail POS systems — Square, Shopify, Lightspeed — treat a loose NES cartridge and a factory-sealed copy of the same game as the same SKU. They have no concept of CIB status, no manual field, no label condition grading, no consignor accounts, and no buy-outright cost tracking. For a game shop where a single title in three different states of completeness carries three different prices, that's a fundamental mismatch.
Resell4.me gives you the item-level specificity your inventory requires, the consignor accounting your consignment sellers expect, and the buy-outright workflow your walk-in counter depends on — for from $49/month . Generic retail software charges $60–$139 per month for none of those features. Over five years, that's $3,600–$8,340 spent on software that was never designed for a game store.

Many game shops carry a mix of categories. We have dedicated pages for related niches:
One Price. Month to Month.
Used game margins are already thin — a monthly software subscription should not be another cost eating into your profit. Resell4.me starts at $49/month, or as a one-time purchase if you'd rather own it outright — either way, no per-transaction charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What software do video game shops use for consignments?
Resell4.me is used by video game shops, retro game stores, and buy-sell-trade operations. It tracks each game and console by platform, condition, CIB (complete-in-box) status, and manual presence, and links each consigned item to the seller's account for automatic payout calculation when it sells. Plans start at $49/month (or $1,470 as a one-time payment).
How do video game shops track CIB status and condition in their inventory?
Resell4.me supports custom item fields so you can record platform (NES, SNES, PS2, etc.), condition grade, and whether a game includes box, manual, and all inserts. This detail is searchable at the counter, prints on barcode tags, and helps justify pricing on rare or collectible titles.
Can a video game shop run both consignment and buy-outright operations in the same system?
Yes. Resell4.me handles mixed models — you can purchase games outright from sellers for immediate resale and also accept pieces on consignment, both through the same POS. Each item is tracked separately, and the software clearly distinguishes shop-owned inventory from consigned items.
How much does video game shop software cost?
Resell4.me starts at $49/month for Essentials (or $1,470 as a one-time payment) and $89/month for Professional (or $2,670 one-time). It is cloud-based, runs on any device with a browser, and includes a free demo. There is no long-term contract, and free data migration is available from older systems.
